24/7 Access for grocery pick-up or for food donations

Join our St. John's Feeding Ministry Team to help stock our pantry and fridge that provide 24/7 access to groceries for St. John’s neighbors in need. Our pantry relies entirely on volunteer support and your generosity. Bring your non-perishable foods to St. John's and place perishable items directly in the fridge or pantry located in front of the garage. 

In extended cold snaps, fresh produce—especially leafy greens and items with high water content—tends to freeze and spoil quickly before it can be used. For that reason, we slow down on produce during prolonged cold weather and focus instead on items that hold up well and move quickly.

Please consider donating items that withstand freezing temperatures (32°F and below):

Freezer: Prepared meals and sides (including vegetarian or vegan options); pizza; packaged, frozen vegetables/fruits

Fridge: Packaged, sliced cheeses; packaged, sliced deli meats; bread

Pantry: Granola bars, crackers; cereal; instant coffee; tea bags

Our fridge and pantry are currently located in front of the church garage, as they were temporarily moved during waterproofing work.
